A Few Thoughts on Discipline

When it comes to discipline it’s not the extremes that work, it’s the in-betweens.  You can quote me on that.  Disciplining like a drill sergeant or tiger mom just encourages rebellion and does not teach children the things that they are suppose to learn through discipline: how to make good choices in life.  Being your children’s best friend works no better in the art of disciplining.  Not setting boundaries leaves your child without a moral compass by which to navigate their future decision making.  So when I say the best way of disciplining is the in-between way, I mean it.
